Thu, 10 Oct 2019 22:49:44 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=146823Earlier, the Chicago Tribune was criticized by readers because it falsely claimed that the term illegal alien isn’t “used in statutes and in legal circles.” It approvingly a quoted a professor wrongly claiming “The term illegal alien isn’t a term that comes up in our laws,” in discussing New York City’s threat to fine people […]

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 13:15:57 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=146758The Chicago Tribune falsely reported on October 4 that the term “illegal alien” isn’t used in laws or legal circles. It has since failed to fix the error even though lawyers pointed out its error on Twitter and in correction requests. The Chicago Tribune made an error on October 4 that it seemingly refuses to […]

Fri, 22 Mar 2019 13:12:22 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=132993Polar bear populations are booming. That’s interesting, because it is at odds with what many people think. In my neighborhood, children posted fliers in a park about how global warming was supposedly killing off the polar bears. They were apparently told this by their teachers. Some government officials used to cite a dwindling number of polar […]

Sat, 16 Mar 2019 17:03:25 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=132726Progressives will do harmful, foolish things to ‘own the cons.’ In Michigan, a transgender activist burned down his own home, killing his five pets, in a hate crime hoax intended to make social conservatives look bad. He burned his pets to death to ‘own the cons.’

Thu, 14 Mar 2019 13:28:57 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=132618Will Wilkinson is the Vice President for Research of the Niskanen Center, a supposedly pro-market think-tank that is variously described as ‘moderate’ or ‘libertarian,’ despite advocating policies that are mostly backed by progressives.

Sat, 02 Mar 2019 17:54:26 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=132117The criminal justice system deters crime from happening in the first place, by giving criminals prison sentences to make would-be criminals think twice before committing a crime. Those prison sentences also incapacitate criminals from committing more crimes, making it impossible for them to commit additional crimes against the public, as long as they are kept in jail.

Sun, 20 Jan 2019 22:34:37 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=130199In response to this viral news story, the boys' church and school, doing damage control for public-relations purposes, essentially disowned them.

Tue, 08 Jan 2019 17:01:38 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=129584Fliers bearing an anti-communist message were found in Seattle and are being investigated as a possible bias crime by Seattle police. Why? Because they bear the name of a right-wing group labeled by a left-wing group as a hate organization.

Tue, 13 Nov 2018 00:02:04 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=127107The Republican Party is deeply flawed, and the Democratic Party is even worse. But abolishing them -- or burning them to the ground, as Max Boot wants to happen to the GOP -- would be a mistake, because they would likely be replaced by something even worse.

Wed, 07 Nov 2018 22:51:35 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=126884Lawbreakers should not become lawmakers. But allowing felons to vote does just that, because felons make law when they vote on ballot propositions, which become state law when they pass.

Tue, 06 Nov 2018 14:49:44 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=126815By letting felons vote, you are effectively disenfranchising yourself and other moderate and conservative voters in the state.

Sun, 04 Nov 2018 18:20:17 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=126744Even liberal CNN has reported that Brennan supported the Communist Party candidate for President in 1976. It's an odd choice for someone who would go on to become CIA director, in charge of intelligence gathering against many Communist countries such as Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela.

Tue, 30 Oct 2018 15:41:46 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=126527Accuracy does not seem to be a concern for the Washington Post these days. For example, it still has not corrected its false claims about the scope of federal evidence rules and the legal definition of sexual assault that readers of Liberty Unyielding brought to its attention a month ago.

Mon, 29 Oct 2018 17:56:19 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=126476Christine Blasey Ford has a great deal to gain from her accusation -- over a million dollars. It is wise to be skeptical of accusations when the accuser may have a powerful motive to lie.

Sat, 13 Oct 2018 19:24:52 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=125740Today, as Michael Medved observes, Douglas's behavior toward young women would be viewed as probative of sexual harassment. But the media seldom describe it as such. Indeed, you can find articles in which reporters describe him as a 'cool cat,' as if a trendy ideology justifies caddish or predatory behavior.

Sat, 13 Oct 2018 00:12:18 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=125701The Washington Post recently peddled a false left-wing claim about the Tucson mass shooting. This claim was recognized as baseless long ago even by many liberal journalists.

He paid no real penalty for strangling his cellmate, since he was already serving a life sentence for killing other people.

Mon, 08 Oct 2018 18:51:47 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=125513Lowery said that D.C. residents have ‘no electoral say in who is appointed to the Supreme Court.’ This is untrue: Washington, D.C. has three votes in the electoral college that picks the president. The Constitution provides that the president ‘shall appoint’ Supreme Court justices.

Sat, 29 Sep 2018 15:19:04 +0000https://libertyunyielding.com/?p=125166People have a massive incentive to make explosive, unfounded allegations against conservative judges nominated to the Supreme Court. Doing so can get them millions of dollars in book and movie deals from Hollywood or the publishing industry, both of which lean far to the left.
